Pushed AE and 3D to the limits on this one. Comp/animation/layout all in After Effects!
Really looking forward to exploring more now that we have 3D prims and Substance material support 😍 #aftereffects #adobe

NOT AI - Spider-Man Iron Suit vs GIANTPENI with help from WHITEFOX
Giant tech robot vs Spideys techies suit! I love getting to do animations like this. I always had a specific idea of how Iron Spider would move and I think we did a lot of cool stuff. Once I knew Whitefox would turn into an Actual giant Fox, I immediately wanted to do a KAIJU fight!
Also this one was a massive dream come true since we got to work with my favourite version of Spider-man! Josh Keaton @spacepadre

Having a little fun playing with Substance Painter's Ribbon tool, using an exported displacement map from ZBrush in the alpha and tiling it

Lord and Miller on AI 🔥
"To me, it's antithetical to the thing we're trying to do. To replace that with the average of all these people's creativity in human history ever, uncompensated."
Great clip and great interview, you should watch the whole thing.
.@chrizmillr and @philiplord aren’t worried that AI is going to ruin Hollywood because AI can’t do the one thing filmmakers, writers and actors can do: be creative.

Messing with Arnold's new aiLine node with the toon shader in Maya, definitely going to dig more into this! One driven by AO, the other by light.
@LeeGriggs for the quick and easy tutorials on this 🙌

And here I've been just throwing in random numbers hoping my videos look OK on Instagram.
"What bitrate should I export my mp4s in?" I used to wonder this until I found a formula in an old PDF that an Adobe employee created over 15 years ago. I turned it into a little calculator for everyone to use: bitratecalculator.app

In this tutorial I’m sharing 10 hidden AE updates that many users completely miss, even though they can seriously improve your workflow.
Some are tiny.
Some are surprisingly powerful.
All of them are worth knowing.

Learned about this community at GDC last week, looks like a great space for game creatives to build their portfolios by getting paired with a team to build a scene. Collaboration and networking are so important!! beyondextent.com/challenges
Games are getting so clever these days, keep it coming!! What a neat idea
GDC was a blast! Back home, still recovering. Most of my time was spent with Portfolio reviews, one of my favorite things to do at GDC 🫶
Game Creatives! Biggest topic, are we still expecting reels? I only saw maybe one or two. Are stills really enough for non-animator gigs??
